Real question for any #biologist or #scientist
Can animals have mental health issues or be neurodivergent like humans? Is it possible to have a whale with #autism or a sloth with #adhd?

#AskScience or something: Apparently, mistletoe cactus possibly spread from the Americas to Africa by migratory birds long before European traders. I also know that chili peppers spread across the Americas thanks to birds who don't sense capsaicin. So why didn't birds spread chili peppers to Africa?

Has any human ever befriended a whale and followed its migration route, linking up with it in different locations across the globe? #askscience #biology #whales
So… how many litera of water did you spend today toying around with AI? #askscience
This study shows how small lab changes can improve healthcare. Minor adjustments like these could prevent critical outcomes. What do you think? Questions? Let’s chat! Science is more fun when we share ideas. 💡 #AskScience #EngageWithMe #TalkScience

The geologist wants hands that can do ground-penetrating radar, magnetic sensors. #AskScience #wc38
Many alien species look like humans in a costume; bipedal, with a mouth hole, upright, two eyes on front. #AskScience #wc38
Directed evolution is a powerful tool, and it's being used industrially, but it's not going out in the ecosystem. #AskScience #wc38
Audience: What are the ethics of cloning animal species and putting them to work for human benefit? Is that slavery? #AskScience #wc38
Mammalian reproduction is complex; many pregnancies fail. Genetic modification works much better for plants and microbes. #AskScience #wc38

"I came here to find a generation ship propulsion system, now I wonder: what will they eat? What will the planet be like?" #AskScience #wc38
Planetary geologists can date features based on craters (how many, overlapping). #AskScience #wc38
Charlie Stross (sp?) was recommended as a great scifi writer and blogger who keeps up with the science. #AskScience #wc38
Audience wants to know about cutting-edge methods for space propulsion. Twitter? Twitter? Bueller? #AskScience #wc38
There needs to be more polyploidy in science fiction and fantasy. #AskScience #wc38
If you have elves, humans, and half-elves, THEY ARE NOT SEPARATE SPECIES. They are breeds. #AskScience #wc38
"Rainshadows will get you every time." #AskScience #wc38
There will be winners and losers in a climate change scenario; it would be good to see this in fiction. #AskScience #wc38
Audience: If you had a planet with an all-nitrogen atmosphere, would you have a blue sky? #AskScience Ping @DrMRFrancis #wc38
Panelists would love to see more honest depictions of the process of science; teamwork, prof/grad students, failure. #AskScience #wc38
The scientific detail in your scifi depends on the story; it works in the Mars Trilogy because it's about exploration. #AskScience #wc38
Audience pet peeve: Tedious explanations about physics, technology, etc. Panel: Science should be like an ice berg. #AskScience #wc38
What scientific principles that fiction writers and moviemakers should know? Thermodynamics, evolution, geology. #AskScience #wc38
Does the transporter in Star Trek transport your microbiome? #AskScience #wc38
Panelists wish 1) people knew they could reach out to scientists, & 2) wish writers/world builders knew more ecology. #AskScience #wc38
We've got geology, biotech, climate science and paleoecology (me!), plant sciences, and biology. #wc38 #AskScience #wiscon38
